I love writing these planning posts so that after I actually go on my trip, I can look back and see whether everything went according to plan (spoiler alert, it never does). Without further ado here is more detail on where I’ll be going and what I’ll be doing! Hawaii (6 nights) I am still […]

The summers of 2015 and 2016 were the first time I travelled for a few months in a row. I had the absolute best time, despite being robbed on the first trip – and the second summer was perfect and I couldn’t wait to do it again. Sadly, I have had to work full time […]

What a year! I spent 4 months living in Toronto crying a lot, and then 8 months back at home in Nova Scotia getting my life together quite successfully. I didn’t go on as many trips as usual, but I still made it to Prague, Budapest, Krakow, Amsterdam, London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Jamaica and the Dominican […]

Last year, I wrote a massively long Best of 2016 post and I still reread it constantly, every time I want to reminisce on how awesome that year was. I don’t know if anyone else found it as interesting as I do, but either way I really enjoyed writing it. This year, I was thinking […]

2017 will be the first year of my life that I have a full-time job for twelve straight months. Writing that sentence practically caused me physical pain. I am the model of a commitment-phobic millennial, so despite the fact that the last few weeks at my job have actually been pretty good, the thought of […]

Five weeks ago, I was standing on top of the place Hitler died. Six weeks ago, I was arriving on the Zanzibar beach about to try scuba diving. Seven weeks, I was riding down the Tanzanian highway in a rickshaw, hot and disoriented and blissful. Eight weeks – dancing in a Turkish bar after basically […]

I’m two months into my very last semester of university, and I am simultaneously so ready for it to be over and can’t believe it’s really happening. I’m excited to start my big scary job in Toronto in July (read more about that here) but I am definitely more excited about the trip I have […]

On Christmas Day, I signed a contract for a full time job starting in July 2016. I may have backpacked places like China and Morocco alone and with no experience, but for me signing on the dotted line was way scarier than any of my travel experiences. I thought after graduation I’d get a job […]

I used to look at people’s amazing lives on Instagram, believing that there must be something special about them if they got to have such incredible experiences and travel to such exotic places. They must have trust funds, or really random and cool jobs, or something that I just didn’t have. Now I know that’s not […]

I seriously can’t believe I’ve been travelling for over a month now. It feels totally normal to pack up and move every few days (or every day), almost like I’ve been doing this forever – but then I get those moments where I realize how incredible this experience is and I’m just in awe of […]
